ᴍᴀɴufacturers can create highly precise, consistently high-quality items with CNC machining from almost any material, including metals, plastics, composites, foam, and even wood. Due to its high level of automation, CNC machining gives producers an affordable alternative to carry out both specialized, one-of-a-kind projects and medium-volume production runs. In this article, we’ll walk you through the various forms of CNC machining and explain which forms work best for which types of components and applications.
How CNC machining works
While subtractive techniques like CNC machining work in reverse by gradually removing material from a solid block known as a “blank” or a “workpiece” to generate the end product, additive processes like 3D printing create things from scratch. Digital design files that are translated into instructions for how the machine should cut the workpiece are used to control CNC machines. The productivity of ᴍᴀɴufacturers is greatly increased when the machining process is automated and controlled by computers. They can produce parts far more quickly than huᴍᴀɴs since several CNC machines can use the same design file to make the same series of cuts on numerous uniform workpieces.
Rapid prototyping was made possible by CNC machining, a highly repeatable production technology that has been crucial in the ᴍᴀɴufacturing industry. Parts had to be ᴍᴀɴually ᴍᴀɴufactured before computer numerical control and punched tape. Particularly when machines were utilized for extensive hand ᴍᴀɴufacture, this inevitably resulted in high margins of error in final prototype goods. CNC machining revolutionized the ᴍᴀɴufacturing industry by increasing process efficiency, enabling quick prototyping and high-volume production at consistent quality and speed. Modern CNC machining is a flexible ᴍᴀɴufacturing technique that yields high-precision parts, making it suitable for producing a wide range of goods across a variety of industries.
A versatile and cost-effective ᴍᴀɴufacturing solution
While all CNC machining techniques enable businesses to produce consistently exact parts from a range of materials, specific parts can be produced on particular machines due to their configuration of axes. In contrast, 5-axis machines are well-suited to produce geometrically complex components with enhanced speed and accuracy. For instance, those with simpler designs can be created rapidly and economically utilizing 3-axis systems.
